个人简介
Professor Leon Flicker’s research within UWA’s Medical School focuses on the major health issues of older people, exploring falls, depression and cognitive impairment as well as healthy ageing.
Professor Flicker is a key opinion leader in health and ageing and has published more than 470 peer-reviewed articles; he is highly cited with over 28,000 citations. He has received continuous funding support from the NHMRC through multiple research grants since 1996.
He has conducted numerous studies about frailty and successful ageing and researched the health needs of older Indigenous Australians. This latter research led to the validation of the Kimberley Indigenous Cognitive Assessment (KICA) tool, which is used throughout Western Australia, the Northern Territory and far North Queensland and has been adapted for Indigenous populations internationally.
Through use of the KICA tool, researchers have identified a five-fold higher rate of dementia in Indigenous compared to non-Indigenous Australians. This vulnerable population with high needs as they age continues to be involved in research efforts to help determine the modifiable risk factors to help prevent cognitive impairment and frailty in older Indigenous people. The research also helped develop and test a new service model for older Aboriginal people.
